Now, I get it—no one wants to think about osteoporosis until it’s already made your back feel like a folding chair. But that’s the thing about bone health—it sneaks up on you, and by the time you realize something’s off, it’s usually been off for a while. Fortunately, there’s hope, and no, it doesn’t involve swallowing chalky calcium horse pills by the handful. We're talking about Prolia and Reclast—two modern, effective osteoporosis infusion treatments offered right here at Spring Endocrinology, proudly serving Kingsburg and the entire Central Valley.
Let’s break it down—Bill Burr-style. Just a little sass. A little truth. And a whole lotta information that might just save your spine.
Osteoporosis isn’t just some buzzword your aunt mentions between hot flashes. It’s a real, degenerative bone disease that causes your bones to become brittle, weak, and more likely to fracture—sometimes just from sneezing too hard.
Let me repeat that: Your bones can break from a sneeze. That’s how serious this is.
And the worst part? You don’t feel it coming. No pain, no warning. One day you’re reaching for a box of cereal and next thing you know, you're in a back brace wondering why everything hurts.
It affects:
Women over 50
Men over 70
People with thyroid issues
Folks on long-term steroids
Pretty much anyone whose bones think they’re made of graham crackers
Because timing matters. This month is all about raising awareness for a disease that’s affecting 1 in 2 women and 1 in 4 men over 50. And it’s not just some East Coast, urban-center issue. Nope. Right here in Kingsburg, folks are silently dealing with osteoporosis and often don’t even know it.
Spring Endocrinology is here to say: Hey! You deserve strong bones, not shattered dreams and fractured hips.
And we’ve got the tools—infusion therapy that works.
Let me guess—when you hear “infusion,” you think of IV bags and hospital gowns and a nurse saying, “This might pinch a little.” Relax.
Osteoporosis infusions are outpatient treatments that deliver powerful medication directly into your bloodstream—no daily pills, no forgetting, no messing around. Two of the best ones? Prolia and Reclast.
Let’s do a little meet-and-greet, shall we?
Prolia is given as a subcutaneous injection (just under the skin) once every six months. That’s right—twice a year, and boom, your bones are getting the VIP treatment.
It works by slowing bone breakdown and helping your body rebuild what it’s been losing. Think of it like a gym membership for your skeleton—with a trainer who actually shows up.
Reclast is given through a once-yearly IV infusion. Yes, you read that right—one time a year, and it protects your bones all year long.
It’s like giving your skeleton a flu shot against fractures. You roll in, chill in a comfy chair for about 30 minutes, and roll out. Done.
We know you’ve got options—but here’s why our team is the one you want in your corner.
✅ We specialize in bone health. Our endocrinology background means we know the full hormonal picture, not just what your bones are doing, but why they’re doing it.
✅ We’re local. Located in Fresno, we serve Kingsburg patients every day—no long drives or impersonal mega-clinics.
✅ We track your progress. This isn’t a “one and done.” We follow your bone density, run labs, and adjust your plan so it actually works.
You’ll feel heard, seen, and—most importantly—stronger.
Let’s get real. Every medication has potential side effects. You’ve seen the commercials: “May cause dizziness, diarrhea, and a desire to speak fluent Swedish.”
Here’s the truth:
Prolia may cause some mild muscle pain or low calcium if you’re not taking supplements.
Reclast might make you feel flu-ish for a day or two after the infusion. That’s just your body going, “Hey! We’re building bones over here!”
Nothing scary. And most patients tolerate both options like champs—especially with our close monitoring.
If you're over 50 and:
You’ve had a fracture from a low-impact injury (like stepping off a curb)
You have low bone density on a DEXA scan
You have risk factors like thyroid disease, menopause, smoking, or steroid use
Your bones sound like a bowl of Rice Krispies in the morning
You should be talking to us.
Even if you’re not sure, one conversation can give you clarity. And maybe even prevent a future hospital visit.
We don’t just infuse and send you home. We offer full support, including:
Bone density scans (DEXA)
Nutritional counseling for calcium and vitamin D
Fall risk assessments
Exercise guidance that doesn’t involve becoming a CrossFit hero overnight
We want to see you walk strong, lift grandkids, and dance at weddings—not worry about breaking a rib sneezing.
Ready to take your bone health seriously? It’s time.
